This unique lesson plan guides you through all core subjects while providing optional electives and activities to engage and challenge a fifth-grade student. The two-page-per-week plans are designed for flexibility and ease of use. The lesson plans also include a wealth of teaching aids: certificates, Independent Study Charts, Saints & Heroes summary forms, and a hands-on study guide to accompany From Sea to Shining Sea.

CHC Lesson Plans for Fifth Grade includes the following unique features:

Especially in the formative years, it is important to hold up heroic models for our children to imitate. Biographical accounts of "real heroes" are stirring and engaging, and show children that we too can become saints! Upon completion of each biography, student fills in one of the "Saints & Heroes" summary forms. These beautifully-illustrated forms motivate the student, while also prompting him to think about what he has read and apply it to his own life.

Hands-On Study Guide: From Sea to Shining Sea

This guide includes a suggested schedule and hands-on activities to accompany the text From Sea to Shining Sea. To increase the student's understanding and retention of American history, the study guide provides a wealth of enhancement activities from which to choose, including "Dress-Up Fun," "Food," "Map," "Field Trip," "Craft," "Music," and much more!

“I live in Ontario and I love CHC. The only thing I need to change is the social studies (to match the Ontario Curriculum). We don't have to register (per se - we do have to let the S. Board know we are homeschooling) to homeschool and no one comes to see what we are doing. I made the foolish decision to try another Catholic curriculum supplier over the last year and while it was lovely and Catholic it did not hold a candle to CHC and both me and my daughter much prefer CHC and personally I can't wait to start Grade 5 with CHC.”

“We are in our first year of Middle School and using the lesson plans this year. They are well organized and keep my independent daughter on track throughout the day and week. She feels liberated to be able to know exactly what is next. Also, the space on the bottom for non-core material is nice because she adds her trumpet and Chinese lesson along with her karate to the list in order to keep her day straight and manage her time wisely. Every time she completes a task, she just crosses it off the list right in her agenda book. We put the lesson plans in a three ring binder and she decorated the cover to make it more personal. Last year I didnít use a lesson plan and it was a bit difficult for independent learning with a child, but this year we are on track with the lesson plans you have provided. Thank you!!!”
